Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I spent the first three months of my placement with little to no responsiblities as it was necessary I learnt the required skills but since then it has massively increased. I have been given projects to lead but with people there for me to reach out to if needed which is nice for reassurance.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Prior to my placement I had no coding knowledge, so that has been a massive learning curve to now being able to comfortably code in SQL on multiple different platforms.
The placement has also enhance my presenting, excel storytelling and data visulisation skills.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I loved my placement! Of course it is dependent within what team you are placed but mine was amazing. There is always going to be the slog of learning new things and feeling like they are going slow but when you crack something the feeling is amazing. Everyone around is super supportive making it a lovely environment to work in.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Lloyds Banking Group
Be yourself! I do a Geography Degree and was worried that I would need to oversell/change as I don't have any data science background but that made no difference!
